The cell was simple. A single bed, sink, toilet and desk with a chair. There were no windows, this being a subterranean prison.

Kainon sat on the bed, sitting sideways with his back against the wall. His jaw was clenched. It had been two days and he was no closer to working out how to get out of here. Not that he hadn't thought about escaping since he'd been captured.

She'd been here. She'd been in the next room. He knew that dragon had fucked her. It stewed inside him, becoming acid in his veins.

"Sweet goddess, Dan. Will you shut up about that dragon? Just go find one to fuck if you're so interested." The two guards laughed as they did their rounds.

"I just wonder is all. I had always heard that dragons were prudish."

Kainon leapt up and dashed to the bars. "Oi."

The guards halted and turned to him.

"You got a cigarette?"

They looked at each other, the taller one shrugging. The shorter guard reached into his jacket and pulled out two. He lit them both and handed one through to Kainon. "You spoke to the Dragon Prince, yeah?"

Kainon nodded as he blew out. "Seemed like a pussy."

The tall one sniggered.

The smoking guard, Dan, elbowed him. "Well, he sounds like he can fuck."

Kainon stilled. "Yeah?"

The guard continued in a conspiratorial, hushed tone. "One of the king's maids was telling me that when they cleaned out the royal cottage where he stayed, only one bed had been slept in."

Kainon ground his teeth as he drew harshly on his cigarette. "So?"

"Well, apparently he had his second in command and a woman with him."

The tall one rolled his eyes. "Big deal. The Alpha Princes' share a mate as well."

Kainon froze.

The short one continued. "Man, I'd be happy to share a mate if she was as hot as the Dragon Princes' Fae-"

Kainon reached out and grabbed the yapping guard, slamming his head against the bars repeatedly. The tall one responded quickly, grabbing Kainon arm and punching him though the bars. It took a good five blows before he let go. He'd done a lot of damage to the mutt before dropping him.

"You piece of shit," the guard spat out, pulling his injured comrade away from the cell and then calling out for help.

Kainon didn't wait to see if he'd killed the man. He stalked back towards his cot spitting out blood on the way. He sat back on the bed.

He hadn't meant to do that, but hearing those words and knowing what it meant... a deathly calm took him. He surreptitiously slipped the dagger he'd pulled from the guard between the mattress and the wall.

"What the fuck happened?" Alpha King Amer demanded.

His Gamma Nathaniel, responded as they walked briskly to the pack hospital. "They were conversing with Kainon about the Dragon Prince, and he flipped out."

"Hmmm. He hasn't made any trouble the whole time he's been here until that interrogation. He has a real problem with young Brock. It's very strange."

Something had troubled Amer greatly the entire time the dragon contingent was here. He'd chalked it up to the empath hitting a nerve with his wolf, Avadon- who was distrustful of the Fae. They'd had some bad experiences in the past with her kind- he figured that was it.
